Hull History Centre: Records of Winestead Level Drainage U DWI Records of Winestead Level Drainage 1774-1944 Historical Background: The parish of Winestead fronted onto the river Humber until the reclamation of Sunk Island and the North Channel in the 18th century. The lower lying area of the parish, bordered by Winestead fleet (later Winestead drain) along its south eastern edge, was known as Winestead level. In 1774 a new drainage authority for Winestead level was created by Act of Parliament and this undertook various improvement works during the 19th century, mainly the construction of new sluices. Winestead Level Drainage Board was still in existence in 1989. Custodial history: Deposited by Messrs Crust, Todd & Mills, Solicitors, 1981. Donated via Donald Carrick, on the authority of Sandersons Solicitors (successor to Crust, Todd and Mills), June 1999.
